Something New

I knew ahead of time that Joe and I would be exchanging gifts the morning of the wedding and I was informed that his gift to me could be my "something new" so thankfully, I didn't have to worry about that. Of course, I could have said my something new was my dress or my earrings or my shoes or any number of items I was adorned with that day but I took special delight in not knowing what exactly it would be.

That morning when Jackie, Joe's sister, arrived at the hotel for hair and makeup, she handed me a bag. A Helzberg Diamonds bag. There was a card inside that explained why his gift was so perfect for me. He said "You always give me X's and O's so now I'm giving you some."

He knows me so well. I sign most correspondence with XOXO.

I know you're dying to know what's in the bag.

So here... a diamond bracelet of X's and O's. My something new.

You can see it here on my left wrist. That's where I wear it EVERY day.
